A very warm welcome to KS2 and Year 3. My name is Mrs Thursby and I am the Year 3 teacher. Year 3 is such an exciting year where we will gradually get used to KS2. There is no afternoon break but we won't even notice...I promise!
In our classroom, we will have Miss Broxholme, Mrs Scarborough and Mrs Goodacre helping us with our learning. We will be gaining so much more independence through the year and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as you get used to being responsible for your own jumpers and snacks!
We had such a fantastic transition morning and I can't wait to be your next teacher! I know we are going to have lots of fun learning!
Welcome to the Summer Term!
Our topic for the Summer term is called Stone Age to Iron Age. This topic is driven by the subject of History and will involve learning about the earliest known humans. During this time in our history, there were huge changes: the ice covering Britain melted, instead of hunting all the time, people learned to farm and make metal tools, and they found time to worship. There is still evidence we can see around us today, such as Stone Henge, long burial mounds and hillforts which are thousands of years old. This topic promises a great deal to be fascinated about and I can't wait to see their enthusiasm developing as the topic progresses.
During our Summer term we will be going on a trip to Cresswell Craggs! Here we will have lots of wonderful experiences linked to the Stone Age. Check out their website and have a look!
Each week Year 3 will be learning a different spelling rule. We will be working on these spellings every day so if you wanted to support your child and practise them at home each star provides a list of our focus words. There is no formal test but any consolidation is helpful to embed these spellings. The lists are also very useful to recap any previous learning.
